Another Fun UT Activity -- Star Gazing

Another fun activity at UT is the Wednesday Night Stargazing through a 16 inch telescope on top of the UT Physics Building, courtesy of the Astronomy Outreach Program. It is from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM every Wednesday Night until October 31, and 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM Nov 7 to Dec 5 (no viewing November 21)

I have taken my boys to this event in the past, and it is a lot of fun for elementary school students , partially because of the stars and planets (Jupiter is prominent in the evenings now), partially because it is a huge honkin' telescope, and partially because the view from the top of the Physics building is great!
